The Allen Award of Illumination recognizes individuals who have illuminated in others a passion for grazing lands and grazing animals and an appreciation of their essential role in human existence. It is given to those who inspire others to achieve a greater depth of understanding of grazing lands and to recognize that such understanding comes through teamwork and collaboration across multiple disciplines.
Additionally, the current AFGC president has the honor of selecting and presenting the President's Award and the Presidential Citation Award. Because these awards are presented at the president's discretion, no entry form is available.
